Abstract excerpt

We have already shown that selection of heterogeneous D. melanogaster populations for the rate of embryogenesis at 32 degrees C may produce populations, in which 50% of the larvae are hatched 20-40 min earlier, i.e., 2-4% more rapidly than, in the control. Highly inbred strains were obtained from...
